Hi,
I want your opinion about TV Shows and Movies, what do you think about them, do they mean something to you, or do you think it depends on which show or movie you watch, what do you think of rated G or PG tv and movie?

Forever,

    I do not think tv is bad, just like i dont think computers are bad...and other stuff as well, but it really depends on how you, personally, choose to use them, whether they are bad or good. There are many beneficial shows/ movies on tv, especially on the christian channel EWTN, many times it will bring movies like Jesus of Nazareth, or sometimes bible stories for children (which you can record for your sunday school class if you teach little kids),

    and even if it is not a show of religious nature, one knows what to watch and not what to watch, keeping in mind, "All things are lawful unto me, but not all things are helpful" 1 Cor.. However, for some even though the shows that they choose to watch on tv may not be bad at all, but they watch tv for many hours, and it becomes as an addiction to some people, and even though they arent watching anything bad, yet there is no point of wasting precious time that could have been used doing something more beneficial and useful, but instead spent it infront if the tv, so i think if u are addicted to tv it is definetly not a good thing

    it really depends what u can get out of the show/movie
    i mean pg 13 and R is ok if ur the correct age and maturity level
    Passion of the Christ was rated R and still had a significant value to it

    I truely believe, that movies or shows that show you the rating can affect either way as you watch it, and I only watch rated G and PG movies, on tv that is, but as I said I only been to the movie theatre twice, to see one movie, The Passion of Christ, and it was rated R, I mean I never ever saw a movie that was rated R, even though when I was 8 and 9 I used to watch rated PG-13, so I screamed and I yelled, in the movie theatre, and my parents calmed me down, I didn't want to see a rated R movie, and they said, that we're watching a movie that's about Jesus, don't worry, so I finally said yes, and my parents are the same way, they went to see the film of God, in the theatre, in egypt, that's what I think, what do the others have in mind of sharing with us, please do, it may AFFECT us in some way.

  • mnc_hnnmnc_hnn

    but if this is what they are talking about so what is it to do with "the passion of the Christ"??????
  • Christ4LifeChrist4Life
    its a way the producer tell what kind of audiences should watch it....

    G- General Audience

    PG- Parental Guidance

    PG-13 - Parental Guidance if under the age of 13

    R- Must be 17 or older
  • spr418spr418
    and this whole thing was about how was the pation of christ rated R and some kids watch it!!sorry guys if u made u confused!!
    GBU
  • Christ4LifeChrist4Life
    but the passion of the Christ was an exception, if you were with a parent you could see it...
  • spr418spr418
    well...thats what could happen to all R rated movies!!!
    but lets get back to the topic!!
  • Christ4LifeChrist4Life
    well technically this relates to the topic

    n the only reason you were allowed to see it with your parents because it was a religious movie...

    but to say the truth guys, the rating really doesnt matter much. its how much u take a certain movie into view and mind n occupation... how u watch it, no what you watch... because you you could be watching a G rated movie n treat it the wrong way, think about it too much, ect...

    The divine liturgies on Sundays, come at the Nile Channel.

    believe it or not, G and PG can be very bad as well. North American society has let bad things come on in movies with ratings as innocent and G and PG.

    What has thsi country become.
  • bigmakbigmak
